3 Smalls Brands Doing Big Things in 2020

If you look closely, you'll find fashion's not at a standstill at all. Despite the pandemic, creators are doing what they do best, and in light of an industry in transition, emerging talent is gaining a foothold where established brands once ruled. One encouraging sign of the times is Net-a-Porter's Vanguard initiative, aimed at giving newer designers both a platform to be seen and mentorship at all levels of their business, to support the brands' long-term development.

This season, the program highlights three up-and-coming designers, each with a unique aesthetic and take on the future of fashion. We had the opportunity to ask each of the creatives behind these emerging brands how they're pushing innovation, adapting to the new normal, and what they're most looking forward to in the wake of so much change. Not surprisingly, this is a group of optimists whose answers will likely inspire you, too. From jewelry designer Jia-Jia Zhu, whose special attention to crystals informs her beautiful designs, to ArtClub's Heidi Middleton, whose label focuses on sustainability, and Minju Kim, winner of Netflix's Next in Fashion, get to know the Vanguard's next generation of designers to watch.

I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
